Ep 126 – 7 Things Confident Women Do

We want to be more confident as women in the workplace yet it can be challenging, especially when we face gender bias on a daily basis.  Increasing your confidence is easier than you think and in this episode I share 7 things confident women do – and some of them might surprise you! KEY TAKEAWAYS: Confidence and competence are often confused in the workplace which is why we are at a disadvantage if we are not confident The experience of gender bias causes women to doubt themselves in the workplace Confidence isn’t about becoming someone who never doubts themselves – self-doubt is a totally normal part of the human experience You don’t have to have all the answers to be confident Confident women support and encourage others and can also own their own strengths and achievements Confident women can have the courageous conversations, set boundaries and say no Confident women speak up when their Inner Critic is very vocal Confidence involves trusting your own judgement Confident women like and love themselves If this sounds good but you want the support, tools and strategies to put it into action then the Be Bolder course is perfect for you.
